Volume 1: The Supreme Mandate of Heaven Chapter 10: Within Three Days (II)
Tian Danqi said: "Only one person and one place? But I don't know who and where? ”
Pang Xuan said lightly: "This person is Mr. Jixia Sword Saint Forget Worries, and this place is the stargazing platform of Jixia School Palace." Without waiting for King Qi to agree or not, he stood up, bowed deeply to Cao Qiudao next to him, and said in a condensed voice: "Mr. Forget Worries, for the sake of Daqi, for the sake of the six countries of the East, for the sake of the people of the world, please Mr. Respect, help Pang a certain arm." ”
Cao Qiudao is a pure martial artist. Therefore, his gaze on things is also simple and direct. For what considerations did the king of Qi not want to participate in the joint column, Tiandan weishenme wanted to support the joint column. He didn't care about any of that. He only knew that the Qin State was the public enemy of the Eastern Kingdoms. Participating in the joint anti-Qin rebellion will definitely benefit and harm the Qi country in the long run. What's more, there is the land population of Heshi Bi and fifteen cities, why not?
Therefore, when Pang Xuan begged for his head, Mr. Forget Worry immediately nodded without thinking, and said in a deep voice: "Pang envoy can come to Jixia School Palace and temporarily live on the stargazing platform." Cao promised that within three days, whether you or He's Bi, it will be foolproof. Whoever wants to fight your idea, first ask Cao Mou about the sword in his hand. ”
Pang Xuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted again to thank him. Next to him, King Qi was full of helplessness. Tian Dan and the eldest prince were full of joy, and the second prince was blue and his forehead was throbbing, obviously extremely angry.
※※※※※※
Pang Xuan has left, and Tian Dan and the eldest prince have also left one after another. In the palace of King Qi, King Qi, the second prince, and Chen Sheng sat opposite each other to discuss countermeasures. Before he could say a few words, the second prince was already furious. He burst into the air and yelled, "Damn! Cao Qiudao that old horseman! I don't know the general situation, I don't know the general trend, I act rashly, and I am still complacent when I am used as a gun by others. This kind of insight is not as good as even the little guy who guards the door and leads the horse for this king. What else is he called? What a self-righteous idiot! ”
Before the scolding was over, a "呯~" sound was immediately heard, but the second prince angrily stretched out his hand and slapped it on the coffee table. The force was so great that the shock made my palms faintly painful. But he was so angry that he didn't feel any pain at all. One slap was not enough to relieve the gas, followed by another slap.
King Qi sighed and said, "Second Wang'er, you don't have to be like this. Cao Gong's loyalty to Daqi is beyond doubt. Even if you're doing something wrong right now, you can't be so insulting, you know? ”
Although the second prince was still indignant, since his father spoke, he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to agree angrily. King Qi took a few breaths, raised his eyes to look at Chen Sheng, and asked, "Chen Mi, according to you, what should I do now?" ”
Chen Sheng can get the invincible prestige in the world in Shijie, where he was born, and it is not just with his fists. In fact, the true jīng deep martial arts are practiced with the mind, not by the body alone. He has been rolling in the rivers and lakes for ten years, from the national leaders of the five permanent members of the United Nations to the street hooligans, who has not dealt with anyone? What kind of mind is he unable to see through? Therefore, in fact, Chen Sheng knew the intentions of King Qi very well.
At this moment, hearing that King Qi finally asked, Chen Sheng didn't bother to go around in circles with the other party, and said bluntly: "There are only two ways to do it now." First, the state of Qi simply agreed to participate in the joint column and sent troops to attack Daqin. Of course, if the king chooses this path, it is best to kill Chen first and hand over Chen's head to the envoy of Zhao. In this way, between Qi and Zhao, the covenant is solid. ”
King Qi shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, no." The Great Qi State was rich and powerful, and could only learn from the Qin State's long-distance and close attacks. If you participate in the joint column, you will be far from being able to get close to each other and will not be able to attack, and everything will be constrained by others, which is really useless. Therefore, the widow had already made up his mind to form an alliance with the Qin State to implement a joint strategy. This heart has never changed. Chen Mi no longer has to have any doubts. ”
Chen Sheng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Then there is only the second way, which is to snatch He's Bi and kill Pang Xuan." At that time, Zhao Guo could not show their so-called sincerity, and the most reliable general was also dead, so naturally there was no way to force Qi Guo to join the United Column. ”
King Qi and the second prince looked at each other and were silent for a long time, and the second prince hesitated and said: "Chen Mi, now Pang Xuan is sheltered under Cao Qiudao, if you want to kill Pang Xuan and snatch He's bi, you must first pass the pass of Cao Qiudao." This...... I'm afraid it's not easy, right? ”
Cao Qiudao is also a human, not an immortal. Although his swordsmanship is high, as long as there are one or two hundred heavily armed jīng sharp soldiers who use spears and crossbows to besiege at the same time, then Cao Qiudao will still die no matter how great his ability is. However, the status of the Jixia Sword Saint in the minds of the Qi people is so high that it is no different from the immortals. If the soldiers were really mobilized to besiege, maybe these soldiers would have weakened their hands and feet as soon as they saw Cao Qiudao's back, and they would have taken the initiative to throw down their weapons and kneel and kowtow.
The only feasible way is to send a small number of jīng sharp masters to carry out the mission. But King Qi thought about it, and felt that those so-called masters under his command, if they faced Cao Qiudao, I was afraid that they would not be able to withstand even a round and have been killed. And if they can't pass this level, the safety of Pang Xuan and He Shibi will be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one will be able to move.
Thinking about it, the only remaining hope seemed to be all on Chen Sheng, the secret envoy of the Black Ice Platform of the Qin State. In the hall of the Huan Gongtai just now, Chen Sheng and Cao Qiudao exchanged swords, although Cao Qiudao had a slight upper hand, but he could not significantly overpower Chen Sheng, if he wanted to send someone to kill Pang Xuan and the thief and the clan, then apart from Chen Sheng, who else could do it?
Just now, Pang Xuan was in front of the King of Qi, agitating the three-inch incorruptible tongue to talk eloquently, both soft and hard, and the King of Qi was almost helpless, so he could only give in and compromise. But Chen Sheng opened his mouth at this time, and in a few words, he pointed out the key to the problem, so that King Qi and Tian Dan had room to maneuver. Therefore, the King of Qi did not dare to regard Chen Sheng simply as a martial artist with vain courage but shallow knowledge, and could be lured and used by himself.
King Qi has been sitting firmly on the throne of Qi for thirty years, of course, it can't be a straw bag. He has read countless people, and knows that he can use means to deal with some people, but he can speak happily and honestly with others. At the moment, he was not pretentious, and said in a deep voice: "It is said that there are two roads, but in fact there is only one road." Chen Mi Envoy, if you can help the widow through this difficulty, whether it is the widow or the prince of your country, you will definitely remember your merits. ”
Killing Pang Xuan and destroying the Six Nations was originally a trial task that Chen Sheng had to complete. What's more, now that you have a block and a clan, the task reward is so rich, but why not do it? In addition, now that Cao Qiudao has become Pang Xuan's protector, if you want to kill Pang Xuan, you must first pass the level of Jixia Sword Saint. In other words, the two things that Chen Sheng cares about and values the most are all combined into one. Even if King Qi didn't say it, Chen Sheng himself had to do it.
Since this is the case, then Chen Sheng did not pretend to prevaricate, and said bluntly: "It's nothing more than the matter of bringing the seven queens down to the sword meeting, which is just three days later." However, I will only deal with Cao Qiudao. I don't care about anything else. ”
King Qi showed a hint of joy on his face, and said in a deep voice: "You might as well." When the time comes, Chen Mi will let you just concentrate on your work. As for the rest, there are naturally widows who hold it. Make sure that no other idlers will disturb you. ”
Smart people talk about three points, and when it comes to this, they have already understood each other, and there is no need to talk nonsense. The only thing Chen Sheng needs to do at the moment is only one thing left: raise jīng to accumulate Rui, and fight in the school palace with three rì Houji.
※※※※※※
Where in the world can't keep a secret? One is the Qinglou Jì Courtyard, and the other is the Imperial Palace. Before Pang Xuan himself left the palace, the words he said in front of King Qi had already spread throughout the palace. When Pang Xuan returned to the embassy of Zhao State, the envoy of Zhao State will pay tribute to the monarch of Great Qi at the stargazing platform of Jixia School Palace, and at the same time, the two countries formally concluded an alliance, and Qi State participated in the joint anti-Qin affair, and hundreds of thousands of residents up and down the entire Linzi have been known to everyone.
In fact, the matter is so uproarious, and it may not be all people in the palace who leak their mouths. To a considerable extent, Pang Xuan himself also deliberately contributed to the trouble. The whole Qi country is unwilling to participate in the joint arrangement, how can he not know? However, when all countries join forces to resist Qin, they must first ensure that there are no worries.
Qi and Qin have always been good friends, and Pang Xuan has also vaguely received rumors, Tian Dan and Qin State's Lü Buwei seem to be secretly colluding deeply. What if when the princes were at war with the Qin army, and the Qi State suddenly came from behind and stabbed him, what would it be? Therefore, no matter what, even at all costs, it is necessary to bring the Qi State over and tie it to the same chariot as the five countries that have already joined forces, such as the Three Jin Dynasty and Chu Wei.
Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, that was in the future more than ten years later, so Pang Xuan definitely didn't know what it meant to be a poor dagger. But he took out the Heshi Bi in public in the palace, but he really forced Qi to have a showdown. Since Qi Guo still refused to agree to join forces, Pang Xuan knew that in the next three rì, his life would be in danger at every moment. Even if there is Cao Qiudao's protection, it may not be foolproof. Since this is the case, Pang Xuan simply made the matter bigger, so that everyone in Linzi knew what happened. In this way, it may be possible to make those who try to "be killed and commit suicide" by themselves, and it is not known that they have a little scruples. Although this may not be very reliable, it is a heavy insurance after all, isn't it?
Since you have made a gesture, then simply do it thoroughly. As the envoy of Zhao State, Pang Xuan certainly couldn't be without the protection of a master warrior by his side. But this is on the territory of Qi State, there are more people than people, is it more than the Qi ** team? Therefore, Pang Xuan didn't bring half of the person, and after a little tidying, he took He's Bi to the Jixia School Palace alone, and lived in the stargazing platform. He looks like a lonely minister who is slaughtered.
